REACH Foundation
We are an education foundation that supports 34 schools in PYLUSD.
Dear Friends & Families,
Happy fall, and welcome back! There's something special about this time of year — the energy of a new school year, the sound of students reuniting with friends, and the excitement of diving back into the programs that make PYLUSD such a special place to learn and grow.
As President of the REACH Foundation, I'm filled with gratitude as we kick off another year of enriching, inspiring, and engaging our students through Academics, Arts, and Athletics. Before we look ahead, I want to pause and celebrate just how far we've come — together.
What makes REACH truly unique is that we are a self-sustaining nonprofit, built and driven by the passion of PYL parents, students, and community members who believe, as we do, that every student deserves the chance to discover their potential.
This fall, our High School Interns are once again stepping into leadership roles — managing programs, mentoring younger students, and building the entrepreneurial, innovative spirit that defines REACH. Our Academic, Arts, and Athletics programming is expanding to meet even more students where they are. And with the continued generosity of our Friends of REACH and community partners, we're positioned for another year of growth.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you're a longtime supporter, a first-time volunteer, a PYLUSD educator, or a proud REACH parent — you are the reason our students can REACH their highest potential. Here's to a bright, bold, and impactful 2026–27 school year!
